Saturday Perry and Chris joined Nina and me in Soda Springs to celebrate mother’s eighty-second birthday. We had a cleaning assignment at the church building which we elected to do earlier on Saturday. We arrived at the building at 7:45 and finally got home about 11:30 a.m. — tired and worn out. We vacuumed the hallways, classrooms, and chapel. It is a big building and we were mighty happy to be done. Another family in the ward finished up the cleaning assignment later that afternoon. As it was, we didn’t get to Soda Springs until about 1:30 in the afternoon.

We had a delightful visit with mom and dad and with Perry and Chris. Perry grilled steaks and corn on the cob for dinner. Nina made up some peach cobbler (rather than birthday cake), and we all had a good time.

Now that Perry’s chemo treatment is completed, he’s grown his hair back! It looks much the same as before, with the same receding hairline. We’ll be going camping with them in a couple of weeks in Hoback Junction, Wyoming (just south of Jackson Hole). Another nice summer break from work. Life is good.
